Er, okay.m 40gigs should be enough. I'd give Win2K 20gigs, and the other two 10 (as Win2k is probably going to be used the most, I hope!<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by Chaos-Engine:

Install Win98, then Win 2k, then Linux. Mandrake 8 should set lilo up automatically to boot to both OS's, but I haven't got any experience in more than two OS's.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by Chaos-Engine:

Slaps? SSH is the way to go.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by Chaos-Engine:

Like JustHalf said, install 98, then 2k, then linux and you should be fine. Usually I'd use a bootmanager though, just so i can remove any of them, at any time, and have the rest load. SystemCommander is probably the one I use the most.
There are some free bootmanagers available, a search on google will return a few, but to use those you're usually limited by the number of HD's you have, as they more often than not boot HD rather than boot image. They're not worth the hassle in your case...
As far as Mandrake goes, I've never had a problem with it and I've been using it since v7.0 at home. Mandrake 8 detects and installs all my hardware perfectly, first time, with no input from me, redhat didn't for some reason... 0 -
